Arctic Competition results: record interest, brilliant ideas!

We’ve announced the six winning teams of the second edition of the Arctic Competition. What a race! It was extremely difficult to choose the best participants, as 160 school teams from 19 countries entered the competition. 12 best projects from Greece, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Faroe Islands and Russia were invited for the final stage – online interviews with international jury.

The prize for the winners is to become Arctic explorers on a 2-week-long adventurous Arctic Expedition in August to either Hornsund in Svalbard or to Svanhovd in Northern Norway.

Our brilliant winners are:

  • Judith Plaza Ortuño and Jordi Escofet Miró from Terrassa in Spain
  • Glyceria Mpouki and Stelios Anastassopoulos from Karditsa in Greece
  • Kacper Markiewicz and Eliza Golańska from Oława in Poland
  • Triantafyllia Vaiopoulou and Stelios Anastassopoulos from Karditsa in Greece
  • Pablo Gómez Toribio and Francisco José Gómez-Senent from Orihuela in Spain
  • Javier Sánchez-Bonilla Martínez and Jose Francisco Romero Garcia from Pozuelo De Alarcon in Spain.
